    We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. A 16-year-old died after being thrown from an SUV during a single-vehicle crash in Nashville's Priest Lake area on Thursday night. The incident occurred along Smith Springs Road, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim[5].

    In another tragic incident, a man was critically injured after being involved in two crashes on Briley Parkway near the Opryland area on Friday night. According to Metro Police, the man fled the scene of the first crash before being involved in a second accident[4].

    Moving on to our job market snapshot, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or notable business expansions in the past few days. However, we do want to remind our listeners that more than 5,000 Tennesseans have registered to volunteer as tnAchieves mentors, which is a great way to give back to the community[1].

    In real estate news, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report. However, we do want to mention that the city is looking for a new operations partner for the Salvation Army after they parted ways with Metro[3].

We also want to remind our listeners to be aware of their surroundings, especially after a 17-year-old was shot in North Nashville and a suspect is still at large[3].

    On a more positive note, we want to share a feel-good community story about a Nashville chef who is giving back to the J.C. Napier community and calling for community support. This is a great example of how individuals can make a difference in their communities[1].
